"If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success." (Eccl. 10:10)

In accord with the above verse there is a old illustration regarding Bible study which says, "The woodsmen who sharpens his ax is not wasting his time, nor is the one who sharpens his senses on the Word of God before he attempts to teach."

Let us be diligent in our efforts in studying and teaching the Word of God.
